British Trash

Rating: 1/10 (17 March 2005)

Quite simply the most overrated movie in the last 10 years. And the only reason it's been lauded at all is because there are tons of brits who feel a political need to elevate this mess because it was a British production.
Were this movie a Hollywood production, you wouldn't hear a peep out of them. I intensely dislike anyone who evaluates a movie in those terms. It is indicative of an inferiority complex in the individual. One should never bring their provincialism into the arena when evaluating any work of art. It reeks of low class.
This movie started off ridiculously. And then it typically went for the clichéd euro shot -- a naked guy. Ooooooh, those sophisticated brits. This has got to be a serious movie, right? I mean they wouldn't show a guy's sack if it weren't. Give me a break.
Not a stitch of originality in this production. And an inability to work within the confines of its plot devices. Why set them up if you violate them 10 minutes later.
I hope this director does some work on stage or even commercials. He is not up for making movies, that is certain.
